(Bow and thank you for the three monthly passes of "Yunmeng Luotian" for their support!)

The waves on the silver beach, the villa far from the city is very quiet, Zhou Ming and Governor Edward sit on beach chairs facing each other, the air around them seems to be condensed, and the only sound in their ears is the sound of the waves crashing on the shore.

In this way, Edward looked at Zhou Ming in a daze for a while before saying, "I think I must have heard it wrong, or are you joking, Mr. Zhou Ming?"

"No," Zhou Ming said very seriously, "Governor Edward, you didn't hear it right, and I'm not joking either, I came to your vacation villa this time in the hope that you can help me deal with the Addams family." ”

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Rao is Edward's psychological quality couldn't help laughing, and he said to Zhou Ming meaningfully: "I'm sorry I know I should be serious, but I can't help laughing, because I don't understand what makes you say such things, I know that your situation may not be easy now, but that's not the reason." ”

"It seems that Governor Edward already knows about me and Wharton?" Zhou Ming asked.

Edward nodded and said, "That's right, I do know something, after all, the streets are full of protesters now, and it's hard for me, the governor, to know about it, right?"

After speaking, Edward stared at Zhou Ming's eyes and said, "So now Mr. Zhou Ming, you will come to me in a hurry, I hope I can give you the last miracle." But I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you, even though I'm the governor of Massachusetts, and I do have some powers, but I don't have the same powers as you know, and I need to obey the law, and I can't override the law. ”

"I see, but unfortunately my thoughts may not be the same as Governor Edward's, because I don't think I'm here to look for a miracle, but I think you're going to do me a favor, Governor Edward. Zhou Ming said.

Facing Zhou Ming's confidence, Edward frowned, because Zhou Ming's words reminded him of two months ago, when in the office of the Vinda community, this young man was also sitting in front of him with such confidence, and finally succeeded in asking for seven million dollars from him, for which he had quarreled with the guys in the council for more than a month, and now he behaved like this?

Edward didn't speak, and Zhou Ming continued: "Mr. Governor, what I said I want you to help me do, and I don't want you to directly issue an executive order to sanction the Addams family, because the Addams family's actions have not violated any laws. ”

"And what do you want?" asked Edward.

"I think I've already given the answer to this question, which is to help me deal with the Addams family. Zhou Ming replied.

"But didn't you say this question yourself, I'm the governor, but I can't use my power to do anything for you, isn't it a contradiction for you to say now?" Edward said angrily, "I didn't blame you because I respected you as Omar's friend, and I didn't hold you accountable for breaking into the villa, but if you're just making trouble here, then I'll kick you out immediately......"

Edward's words only came to an abrupt end here, because Zhou Ming then said: "Whether the contradiction depends on Mr. Edward's identity as the governor or the identity of a member of the Kendini family." ”

Edward calmly thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"If you are the governor, then we don't have to talk, you can't help me, but if you are a member of the Kendini family, then I think we have a lot of room for cooperation, right?" Zhou Ming looked at Edward and said, "Mr. Governor, I think we can all open the skylight and say something, maybe few people call you by your last name, but it can't hide the fact that you are a member of the Kendini family." ”

"I've never tried to hide anything, but what does it mean that I'm a member of the Kendini family?" asked Edward, leaning back in his beach chair.

"The Kendini family is a very wealthy and legendary family, a hundred and fifty years ago, a poor Irishman came to Brighton, he worked in a cooperage and made some money to start a family, his son was very clever and worked first as a porter on the docks, he saw the desire of the sailors and the money spent in the bars, so he saved some money and opened a tavern. As the business grew, the second-generation Kendini married the daughter of a famous hotel, and he gave up all his wealth to get his son to attend Harvard University, and eventually became the youngest chairman of a bank. ”

Zhou Ming did not directly answer any questions from Edward, but told the history of the Kendini family, and Edward did not stop it, he just lay on the beach chair and seemed to listen leisurely.

Regarding Edward's attitude, Zhou Ming did not stop although he was surprised, and continued: "The youngest chairman of the bank carried out a series of speculations, earning a lot of profits for himself, and after legally acquiring the shares of the bank and accumulating more than a billion dollars in assets, he naturally became a member of the Brighton consortium, which led to the Kendini family. ”

"It seems that Mr. Zhou Ming knows a lot about Brighton's history! This surprises me a little, but what does this mean?" asked Edward with a smile.

"Maybe it's because the family's heritage is not enough, or maybe it's because the emerging family is always very energetic and energetic, so the Kendini family has been active in the business and political circles for a hundred years, until there is a president of the United States. I think the three years when President Kendini was sworn in at the White House and ascended to the pinnacle of power were undoubtedly the most glorious time for the Kendini family, right?"

After saying these words lightly, Zhou Ming paused deliberately, and then suddenly said: "But since the assassination of the president who shocked the world, the Kendini family has also fallen with the death of the president, has the Kendini family accepted its fate?"

Zhou Ming could see Edward's hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, and he just lay on the beach chair and continued: "I don't know what Governor Edward and the people of your family think, but if it were me, I would definitely not be willing to fall, and I would definitely want the family to be brilliant again in my own hands!"

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Edward sat up straight, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he stared at Zhou Ming.

But soon, not long after, Edward laughed again: "I really didn't expect that I, Edward Kendini, am almost sixty years old this year, and I can still be educated by a young man in his early twenties." ”

Then Edward looked down at Zhou Ming again: "Then Mr. Zhou Ming, how do you want the Kendini family to return to glory?"

"It's as simple as killing the Addams family and taking control of the Brighton consortium yourself. Zhou Ming said.

"It's really simple. "But young man, have you ever wondered what the Brighton Consortium is, and how deeply entrenched the Adams family has been in control of the Brighton Consortium for more than 300 years?"

Zhou Ming didn't answer directly, but also asked-for-tat: "Then Mr. Edward, have you ever thought about leading the Kendini family to replace Adams? Or do you just tremble when you hear Adams's name?"

"What did you say?" said Edward, angrily.

Zhou Ming did not flinch at all, and continued in the face of Edward's anger: "Do you remember what happened twenty-seven years ago? The assassination operation in Dallas suddenly knocked down the beautiful Kendini family. Although I don't know what is going on, there is an old saying in China that you can't let others snore on the side of the couch. ”

"What does that mean?" asked Edward.

"How can I sleep with another man in my own bed?" Zhou Ming said, "I think Adams has controlled the Brighton consortium for more than 300 years, and he will definitely not allow anyone to surpass him, right?"

"So Mr. Zhou Mingxiao, did you come today to separate me from the Addams family?

Zhou Ming picked up the coconut at hand and took a sip, completely immune to Edward's sneer and ridicule.

"Actually, this original coconut water is not delicious, at least it doesn't fit my taste, it's a little too light, it won't be cultivated in a greenhouse, right?" Zhou Ming said.

Edward was a little messy, he stared at Zhou Ming with wide eyes, he didn't understand what Zhou Ming was thinking, how to talk about family affairs, he suddenly pulled on the coconut, it has nothing to do with it, okay?

Edward wanted to go crazy, but because of his governor's shelf, he could only suppress his emotions and wait for Zhou Ming's answer.

Of course, Zhou Ming understood Edward's thoughts, he put the coconut back on the small table, and then said to Edward very leisurely: "Actually, I want to say that things are not as complicated as you think, Mr. Governor, I never thought of using any means to divide the world, I just said what I thought." Of course, my purpose will not change, and I still hope that Mr. Governor, you will agree to help me deal with the Addams family. ”

"Why? Your partner is missing, your company's funds are frozen, your company, whether it's the Wharton Insurance Company or the dormitory convenience store, has become notorious, and the Chinese friends who came with you have had to move out of Harvard. If it's a game, and you don't even have a card in your hand, why do you think I'd promise you, or even if I did, how could I deal with the Addams family?

Edward forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Zhou Ming: "If it is, I can only give you one evaluation, that is, naïve, you don't understand anything at all." ”

"Perhaps. Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "But of course I can't shake the Addams family alone, even if I add the Kendini family, it won't help, at most it will make the things of twenty-seven years ago repeat itself, Kendini was beaten hard by Adams again, although it is very unacceptable to say this, but I'm sorry, that's the case." ”

Zhou Ming paused at this point and finally asked, "Then what if you add the Lowell family and the Lawrence family?"

With Zhou Ming's last question, Edward swallowed all the words he was going to scold Zhou Ming back into his stomach, and he could only look at Zhou Ming in surprise and ask, "You mean that Lowell and Lawrence are also willing?"

"Why not? The Addams family has controlled the kingdom of Brighton for more than three hundred years, and his supremacy is not convincing to everyone. The Lowell and Lawrence families are also very old families, and they are also the most important constituent families of the Brighton consortium, but for a long time, their respective spheres of activity were basically limited to their respective cities, is this an arrangement they want? or is it a last resort? I don't know anyway. ”

After saying this, Zhou Ming got up from the beach chair, and Edward immediately asked vigilantly when he saw this, "What are you going to do?"

"I've said everything I have to say, can't I stay and prepare dinner? Anyway, the change of dynasty of the Brighton consortium has nothing to do with me. Zhou Ming said.

Facing Zhou Ming's gaze, Edward took a deep breath: "Then what if I agree?"
